  • Row 2 – Front post single crochet (fpsc) around each stitch to the end, this will end up being an uneven number (one less than row 1), then make 1 single crochet into the chain 1 stitch of the previous row, chain 1, and turn. The stitch count will be the same number as row 1.
  • Row 3 – 1 single crochet in each stitch to the end, the last stitch to be made in the chain 1 of previous row, chain 1, turn. The stitch count will be the same as row 1.
  • Keep repeating rows 2 and 3.
